The mainstream goes viral: NBC introduces Jimmy Fallon's upcoming late-night show online

|

Tonight, NBC unveiled - well, um - something about its new late-night show, "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon." Fallon, best known for laughing at his own jokes on "Saturday Night Live," takes over for Conan O'Brien March 2, 2009, who takes over for Jay Leno in June. (Leno, as you may have read in the previous entry, will be heading to NBC primetime, hosting a show very similar to the one he's doing now and saving NBC boatloads of money on development and production and, even more importantly, saving them from the ignominy of getting Conan's butt kicked had Leno moved to ABC or Fox.)

Nothing really of a whole lot of value in that, except that Fallon introduced his house band, The Roots. He's going to be doing one of these nightly until his show launches. Two suggestions: 1) Why not actually try to show the creative process involved (assuming there is one), and 2) Would it kill you to include a few jokes?
